The following tactics can cause the most belligerent militant atheist to RECOIL:

"I would love to be an atheist and subscribe to a worldview that allows me to be my own god, but for me to believe reason came from non-reason, everything came from nothing, consciousness came from unconsciousness, order came from chaos, intelligence came from disorder, and life came from non-life, would take more faith than I could ever muster."

RECOIL is a mnemonic device to help you remember this tactic: 

Reason from non-reason
Everything from nothing
Consciousness from unconsciousness
Order from chaos
Intelligence from disorder
Life from non-life



 The following is a more advanced tactic, but once understood and properly used, it is a powerful and embarrassing truth; so it must be used respectfully, not with condescension: 

"Consider the irony of everything you have communicated thus far:

  • You communicated information, but your worldview cannot account for information (information is immaterial). 

  • You used logic and reason but your worldview cannot account for the laws of logic or how reason can come from non-reason.  

  • You exist but your worldview cannot coherently and consistently explain how your existence, or any existence, comes from nonexistence. 

  • You are conscious about what you believe and don't believe but your worldview cannot coherently and consistently explain how consciousness comes from unconsciousness. 

  • You used your time to write a comment as if your comment is valuable and means something, but your worldview implies no ultimate meaning, value, or purpose.

  • You exercised your freedom to express your ideas (i.e. you enjoy the rights that are undergirded by the notion that we are all equal because we are created in God's image),  but your worldview does not have the resources to account for and sustain these fundamental human rights. 




Greg Bahnsen sums up the inconsistent duplicity of atheists well:

“Imagine a person who comes in here tonight and argues 'no air exists' but continues to breathe air while he argues. Now intellectually, atheists continue to breathe - they continue to use reason and draw scientific conclusions [which assumes an orderly universe], to make moral judgments [which assumes absolute values] - but the atheistic view of things would in theory make such 'breathing' impossible. They are breathing God's air all the time they are arguing against him.”
